Almost two years after the Library of Congress moved to make cell phone unlocking illegal, Congress this week approved a bill that reverses that decision and will once again give consumers the right to unlock their devices. The bill, the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act, must now be signed by President Obama to take effect. The Senate approved the bill on July 15, and the House did the same on Friday, clearing the way for the presidents signature. The measure specifies that consumers can unlock their cell phones without running afoul of copyright laws. It also directs the Librarian of Congress to consider whether gadgets like tablets should be eligible for unlocking. pcmag/article2/0,2817,2461481,00.asp
